Breaking: Building explosion in NYC.

[evkl]

Somewhere on 62nd Street.

Apparently, there's a doctor's office inside. Abortion clinic, perhaps? Domestic terrorism?

Speculate, but don't fearmonger.

According to CNN:

1. It was probably due to a gas leak: one woman nearby (I think they said that she was an employee) said that she had smelled gas prior to the explosion.
2. The doctors' offices hadn't yet opened for business, luckily.
3. Few people were hurt, and I don't recall hearing that anyone was killed.
